Prosecutors outline Supreme Court arguments in Mark Strong case

Prosecutors appealing dismissal of 46 charges against Strong

Prosecutors in the Mark Strong prostitution case are arguing that a trial judge made a mistake when she threw out nearly four dozen charges against him.

The state argued in paperwork filed with the Maine Supreme Court that the motion to dismiss the invasion of privacy charges against Strong was not filed within the proper time limits.

The York County District Attorney's Office said Strong's lawyer, Dan Lilley, never questioned the legality of the invasion of privacy charges against his client in the motions leading up to jury selection.

Judge Nancy Mills dismissed the charges against Strong last month, saying people seeking the services if a prostitute are not entitled to privacy.
